The Paperwork Reduction Act is switched off

The document says “shall notWho acts: CongressHow: statuteSec. 4 in the PDF
What the document says

“shall not apply with respect to the development or modification of voter registration materials under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (52 U.S.C. 20501 et seq.), as amended by section 2, including the development or modification of any voter registration application forms.”

Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, Sec. 4

The Paperwork Reduction Act normally requires review and public comment before a federal agency collects information from the public. This section removes that step for the voter registration materials this Act requires.

What the document actually says

“shall not apply with respect to the development or modification of voter registration materials under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (52 U.S.C. 20501 et seq.), as amended by section 2, including the development or modification of any voter registration application forms.”

Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, Sec. 4
That sentence, in plain words

That old law does not apply here. It does not cover new voter forms. It does not cover changes to them.

What this is about

One law makes agencies get review before asking the public for information. It takes time and lets people comment. This bill says that law does not apply here. New sign-up forms can be made without that step.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
